"Have you ever asked yourself are we truly alone in this vast Universe." The Boy said before taking a sip of alcohol shot glass and looking up to the dark sky. Benjamin looked at his face for a moment then replied. "Were the heck is this coming from?" Benjamin asked curiously his mind still confused about the question. Then it hit him "Are you drunk bro? I think you have had enough dri— "Answer the damned question!" The Boy almost yelled in Benjamin face.

I hope you enjoy it. ### Here are some key aspects you'll encounter: MC: The protagonist follows the classic weak-to-strong arc. World: Picture a blend of Harry Potter and Star Wars. System: While it's primarily a magic-based story, there's a structured system in place that's easy to follow. Additionally, elements of cultivation. Harem: No, there are several female interests. But I enjoy romance first. So even if there will be more than one love interest it will be deep. Note: English is not my first language, but you'll notice that my writing and English skills gradually improve throughout the chapters. Other: The novel delves into deep research on science and history, enriching the storyline with factual and intriguing details. Give it a read—you might be pleasantly surprised by what unfolds.

Long ago, the land of Alkebulan was ruled by the mighty Gods. Mortals lived at the mercy of these divine beings, who decided their fate and wielded the power of the elements. When angered, the Gods would shake the heavens and earth with their mighty power, leaving mortals trembling in fear. But then came the discovery of the Supreme Power of Jok - a force that allowed mortals to harness the power of the Gods and connect with their own Ori, or inner spirit. With this newfound power, humans began to thrive and rise to levels of strength and ability that rivaled even the Gods themselves. They took control of their own fate, harnessing the spark of destiny embedded within their very essence. But such power was not for everyone. Only the truly talented and skilled could go against the natural order of the heavens and claim their own fate. It was a rare gift, but for those who possessed it, the possibilities were endless. **Disclaimer:** The concepts, names, and themes presented in this book, are entirely fictional and created for entertainment purposes.

Alessia was an ordinary young adult striving to live her life to the fullest until a car accident disrupted her world. Currently, she is battling her inner demons, encountering the gods, and possessing the power granted by a goddess. While exploring the supernatural realm, she encounters Zagreus, a god who initially appears aloof and distant but later develops feelings for her. Alessia discovers that the myths about Greek gods she read are factual, and her fate is intertwined.

In this world, there were those who were called main characters and those who were called non-playable characters. Those who were called main characters have special access to a level-up system that the non-playable characters cannot access. They used the level-up system to increase their power and leave the non-playable characters behind. The main characters who were much stronger than the non-playable characters looked down on them. They don't even consider them as living beings and treat them with bad manners. Not infrequently, there are also incidents of murder and robbery committed by the main characters against the non-playable characters. Even though the main characters often commit crimes, they are not arrested at all since they are considered very important assets for the world. Thus, the balance between the main characters and non-playable characters is very unbalanced to the point where the non-playable characters choose to submit to the main characters. Amid that condition, there was still one non-playable character who did not want to give up and submit to the main characters. He is Rigid, a non-playable character who wants to find a way for the non-playable characters to fight back against the main characters. However, everything did not go smoothly for him. His parents were killed by the main characters, his house was burned down, and his lover turned away from him to one of the main characters who killed his parents. He fell into despair and ended up in a bar, thinking of having a glass of wine to wash away his sadness. "I'll give you one of these two glasses of wine for free," A female bartender approached Rigid while carrying a tray with two glasses of wine. "The red one will grant you incomparable strength with the consequence that you will slowly lose your memory, while the blue one will give you incomparable intelligence with the consequence that you will lose your sanity." Ignoring what the female bartender said, Rigid drank both glasses of wine and fainted. The next day, he woke up with a system screen right in front of him. [Congratulations, you gain access to the system and all restrictions have been lifted] With access to the system and the spirit of revenge that burns in his heart, he plans to kill every main character who had killed his parents. Can he get his revenge? Or will he be killed in the end? Follow his journey by reading this book!

My name is Viol. I was born 5 minutes after the beginning of time. And I will narrate to you the story of Zyros Myrandur. --- Zyros Myrandur starts out as relatively insignificant. A small note in a council report, stating that he was missing, presumed dead, since the day of his parents' murder. He was two at the time. He is then taken in by an old man who has nothing else to do but teach him the ways of the world. Well, worlds. From there he rises to become the beginning of something that would affect innumerable worlds for an eternity to come. --- This is my first book - that I published somewhere.

Also excuse or point out any factual errors, please. I do hope you enjoy my novel. :)

The Greek title, paraleipomena, means “things omitted,” or “passed over” (i.e., in the accounts found in Samuel and Kings). The Books of Chronicles, however, are much more than a supplement to Samuel and Kings; a comparison of the two histories discloses striking differences of scope and purpose. The Books of Chronicles record in some detail the lengthy span (some five hundred fifty years) from the death of King Saul to the return from the exile. Unlike today’s history writing, wherein factual accuracy and impartiality of judgment are the norm, biblical history, with rare exceptions, was less concerned with reporting in precise detail all the facts of a situation than with drawing out the meaning of those facts. Biblical history was thus primarily interpretative, and its purpose was to disclose the action of the living God in human affairs. For this reason we speak of it as “sacred history.” These characteristics are apparent when we examine the primary objective of the Chronicler (the conventional designation for the anonymous author) in compiling his work. Given the situation which confronted the Jewish people at this time (the end of the fifth century B.C.), the Chronicler realized that Israel’s political greatness was a thing of the past. Yet, for the Chronicler, Israel’s past held the key to the people’s future. In particular, the Chronicler aimed to establish and defend the legitimate claims of the Davidic monarchy in Israel’s history, and to underscore the status of Jerusalem and its divinely established Temple worship as the center of religious life for the Jewish people. If Judaism was to survive and prosper, it would have to heed the lessons of the past and devoutly serve its God in the place where he had chosen to dwell, the Temple in Jerusalem. From the Chronicler’s point of view, the reigns of David and Solomon were the ideal to which all subsequent rule in Judah must aspire. The Chronicler was much more interested in David’s religious and cultic influence than in his political power, however. He saw David’s (and Solomon’s) primary importance as deriving rather from their roles in the establishment of Jerusalem and its Temple as the center of the true worship of the Lord. Furthermore, he presents David as the one who prescribed the Temple’s elaborate ritual (which, in point of fact, only gradually evolved in the Second Temple period) and who appointed the Levites to supervise the liturgical services there. The Chronicler used a variety of sources in writing his history. Besides the canonical Books of Genesis, Exodus, Numbers, Joshua, and Ruth, and especially the Books of Samuel and Kings, he cites the titles of many other works which have not come down to us, “The Books of the Kings of Israel,” or “The Books of the Kings of Israel and Judah,” and “The History of Gad the Seer.” In addition, the Chronicler’s work contains early preexilic material not found in the Books of Kings. The principal divisions of 1 Chronicles are as follows: Genealogical Tables The History of David
